Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX
The chapter
WINS clients communicate with WINS servers.
Name resolution on an Advanced Server for UNIX computer is configured by editing two
textfiles in the /var/opt/nbrfc/conf directory:
The wins.cfg file is used to configure an Advanced Server for UNIX computer as a WINS
client.
The names.cfg file is used to specify static mappings of NetBIOS names to IP addresses.
The following sections explain the usage of both files.
5.1.3.1 The wins.cfg file
In file wins.cfg you can enter two WINS server addresses by which means the Advanced
Server for UNIX computer is configured as a WINS client. This file, together with a corre-
sponding template file wins.sam, is automatically created in /var/opt/nbrfc/conf during instal-
lation of the nbrfc package if it does not already exist.
To configure an Advanced Server for UNIX computer as a WINS client:
Ê Edit wins.cfg and fill in the IP addresses of a primary and a secondary WINS server. Any
WINS-Server within reach – NT WINS or Advanced Server for UNIX 4.0 WINS – can
be used.
Ê Run the file wins.cfg as a sh script:
cd /var/opt/nbrfc/conf; sh wins.cfg
The last command is executed automatically whenever NetBIOS starts, e.g. at system
startup.
